The Grim Reaper issue 05 September 1992¢---------------------------------------¢¢Howdy all! and welcome to issue 05 of¢'The Grim Reaper'. Firstly many¢apologies for a few 'typos' in the¢'Mode 9 Pixel Averaging' doc in the¢last issue. Blame the proof-reader, not¢me (I don't think I should name him!).¢Now support for our beloved machine may¢actually be getting better very soon!¢My good friend Ricky G. has just¢informed me that Derek Fern has secured¢the rights to sell the Mega-Mags, the¢TOP-CREW Mags and the ABBUC Mags in the¢U.K. Not only that but we will also be¢seeing 32 new software titles! I am¢already saving up to buy 'Operation¢Blood' and as long as Derek keeps his¢prices reasonable (and also his P&P¢charges!) then I can't see why this¢venture shouldn't be very successful.¢Why not drop Derek a line and ask him¢about the new titles? Check out any¢recent 'New Atari User's' for the¢'phone number. I am sure he wouldn't¢mind.¢My thanx go to Spite Ripsoft and¢Mr.Bacardi for submitting programs¢exclusively for this issue of TGR. It¢was very nice of them but no-one else¢submitted anything which was rather¢sad. Up to now I have received two¢letters, one from Germany and one from¢New Zealand. It does say a lot doesn't¢it?¢I thought long and hard about including¢the game 'Tetris 3D' in this issue, as¢it also appears on a recent 'Excel'¢disk. In the end I decided it deserved¢a place as not everyone gets 'Excel'¢and 'Tetris 3D' is really an excellent¢game which all should see. There have¢been some excellent Public Domain¢products coming from Germany recently.¢The pick of the bunch though has to be¢'MegaBlast' which is incredible. A lot¢of time and effort must have gone into¢the making of this game it makes some¢commercially released products look¢poor in comparison.¢Nearly forgot! This issue of TGR again¢uses the two-tier menu system, so boot¢holding OPTION for the boot menu.¢¢Hope you like the programs. Just in¢case... HAPPY CHRISTMAS!¢¢John E. (TEBSF)¢
